Yesterday I was very crazy in a restaurant where I felt very well, and where we had various surprises.
As even the name of this restaurant suggests Excalibur, is a typical medieval Local: Waitresses were long dresses, medieval music is, and it , all medieval and eating, eating with "the sword above his head." But literally, because the walls find various decorative objects: swords, flags.
Are wooden tables and benches, so after two or three hours there, could understand why they were invented seats with sponges.
The most difficult time is probably not where you have to decide what you eat. A quarter of an hour you will see menu offers quite rich, and another quarter of an hour you will laugh, because most dishes have funny names. How the building is lit only by candles, your eyesight will be seriously put to the test when you read the menu and prices. Music has a medieval flavor and is usually at an optimum volume for conversation. I eat an interesting combination of spicy chicken wings, chicken thighs, royal golden potatoes, cabbage, vegetables mix, olives, apples, bananas, tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges. Moreover, almost all dishes containing fruit. And, very importantly, you do not need forks or knives! For people from the Middle Ages and eat with your hands, huh?. Trouble is resolved quickly with wet napkins.
It was a fantastic meal, not very expensive, and me and my friends have been thrilled by the atmosphere, but also that we ate with his hand, like food was tastier than ever.

LOL I never thought of it that way simply coz we Indians are used to eating with our hands naturally! We eat with our hands and lick our fingers after a particularly satisfying meal but don’t know whether the touch of skin on the tongue makes the food tastier. I don’t think so…at least I’ve eaten at restaurants with fork and spoon and the food tasted just equally tasty! I guess you are not used to eating with your hands that’s why you found the food extra tasty LOL you know, like when you do something out of the way, you find it more fun and satisfying.

The taste won't change but you will enjoy your food better with your hands than your spoon. We Filipinos love eating with our hands. We like to use our hands. Specially in tasty foods like chicken, fish, and others food.. I use my hand when eating my favorite food it makes me happy. Even people think it is bad manners, I say I am happy with eating with my hand.

Wow, that restaurant sure sounds interesting! I would like to give it a try someday too

I don't know if the food is more tasty by hand. I think that the taste is exactly the same, as I don't see any difference, but it might be a matter of tastes.

I've never really thought about it, but all of my favorite foods are ones that I eat with and prefer to eat with my hands...pizza, tacos, burritos, sandwiches are all hand foods. i think its because silverware is either going to be plastic or metal, neither of which i particularly care for being in my mouth.

Yes...i know that for sure i am leaving in Indonesia.we are Indonesian people like eating used our hand not spoon or fork and is really different when you feel your hand go inside your mouth when eating i still remember when my mom feed me food with her hand that show her love to me even now i still miss my mom hand feed so when i go back home and show my mom eating i ll like to come to her and open my mouth to get one feed from her food...then even when you go to the restaurant and eat fried chicken with bone is really difficult to cut it in peace or used pork even spoon but best way is take it with your hand put it in mouth and eat all the meat and is so tasty and delicious you better try it some time:)

To some extent i believe they are indeed eaten better by hand but just make sure that your hands are pretty much clean. We all know that hands are pretty much capable of packing lots of germs and bacteria thats why if we dont sanitize well before eating anything we might end up being sick of feeling bad every time we use our hands when it comes to eating.
Some people use hands for eating because its their culture some are trained not to use them but basically its a matter of choice and whatever suits you .It wont be that bad to try for yourself sometime ;)
